Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri has highlighted the resilience of India’s energy management system amid global geopolitical conflicts and disruptions at key maritime chokepoints. He was speaking at the inauguration of the 29th Energy Technology Meet in Goa. The Minister said that global crude oil production continues to exceed demand. Mr Puri said India has diversified its crude oil supply sources, increasing the number of supplier countries from 27 to 41. He also highlighted investments of around five-and-a-half billion US dollars in Russian oil and gas assets, including Sakhalin-1 and Vankor, to support the country’s energy supply requirements. Highlighting India’s refining capabilities, the Minister said the country’s refining capacity has expanded to nearly 290 million metric tonnes per annum. India also exports approximately 11 lakh barrels of refined petroleum products every day to international markets.
